Little Falls, MN (Date): Green Biologics, Inc based in Milton Park at 154 Brook Drive announced the commercial launch of the world’s first bio-based acetone nail polish remover. Sally Beauty is the first retailer to carry the sustainably-produced nail polish remover and is carrying it in over 3,000 stores nationwide. The product, which is branded under the Sally Beauty “Beauty Secrets” line, is a collaboration of Green Biologics and Marianna Industries, a leading developer and manufacturer of beauty products.

“We are very excited to introduce the first plant-derived acetone nail polish remover,” said David Anderson, Global Vice President of Marketing, Green Biologics. “Consumers are more particular than ever about the ingredients in their household and personal care products and are demanding more ecofriendly formulations. This nail polish remover was created to directly address this demand with a formulation that works equally as good as traditional acetone remover, meaning consumers don’t need to sacrifice performance for natural ingredients.”

The key component of this plant-derived nail polish remover is 100% renewable acetone, a bio-based chemical produced via a patented fermentation process at Green Biologics’ plant in Little Falls, MN. United States grown corn is the primary feedstock. Although sustainably-sourced, this renewable acetone is a high-performance ingredient, equally effective to conventional acetone-based removers.

Through their partnership, Green Biologics and Marianna are excited to bring this plant-derived acetone nail polish remover to others in the market, whether it be through private label or branded opportunities, to give consumers a product they can trust.
